Summary

With Engineering degree in Electronics Communication, I began my career in one of the reputed Mobile phone service providers, and remained serving there for almost a decade, in areas like transmission, network security, and information security. With eagerness in public speaking and writing, I shifted to corporate training and communication.

For five years now, I have squarely worked on data privacy, implementing programs to comply with global data privacy laws and regulations.
